Rufflets St Andrews

Nice feel to this hotel. The staff were very good and helpful. The food was excellent. The lodge we stayed in was a little tired but clean and pleasant enough. Overall we had a nice stay.

Stay in Rufflets Hotel, St Andrews (27-30th Apr 26) for quick break. Good Stuff: Hotel in beautiful surroundings just approx 30mins walk from centre of St Andrews. Beautiful gardens to explore and plenty of free parking for car. Staff all pleasant (though service sometimes slow, possibly due to being understaffed for hotel size). Bedroom good size with added touches of coffee/tea facilities, bottled water and shortbread, which were all replenished daily. Bathroom spacious and added bonus of freestanding bath (which my wife appreciated) and separate shower cubicle with quality towels, body gel, shampoo etc. Extra touch of hooks on doors (always something I look for) to hang up outdoor coats was appreciated; the number of Scottish 5-star hotels I have stayed in that do not do this is amazing. In a country prone to regular rain showers where do they expect you to put your wet coats 😫 I have been forced in past to hang on back of chairs or over top of doors (though not an issue on this occasion) Bad Stuff: Stayed in Room 36 and we found the bed to be a bit soft for our liking and view was it had seen better days. The bathroom although tastefully decorated was looking a bit tired and wallpaper coming loose unnecessarily in several place (a bit of paste and 10mins would sort this). The shower ceiling was also crumbling in several areas and certainly looked unsightly and not expected in a 4-Star hotel. Quality of restaurant food was very disappointing and again expected better.

Clean room but a little dated. End of the season so everything was running low, including staff morale- nice but wouldn’t go again

Would stay again! Staff were wonderful.

Very clean

Rufflets was our favorite stay out of five different hotels in the UK. The whole experience was incredible! The staff is so wonderful and welcoming, the bar was cozy, and the breakfast was delicious. My family all agrees that this is the one hotel we want to go back to!

Great food and staff, relaxing hotel .

Everything about this hotel is amazing. Cleanliness, friendly staff, food. Could not complain about anything.

The room was large and well kept, the bathtoom though updated had plaster peeling from the ceiling (If the fan had its own switch/supply instead of needing the lights to be on for it to run this could help). The main hotel was well maintained .Staff very friendly and helpful.

The Staff at this hotel stand out from many other hotels we e stayed in. They were friendly and courteous at all time and may our stay feel very warm and inviting. Thanks to Lewis, Natalie and Sarah to name the ones I got but every single member of staff that we spoke to but don’t get their names were equally important. The food was pretty amazing too and our bedroom although a little tired was very comfortable and as warm as we wanted it to be. We had a lovely few days away and will definitely return again soon. Thank you to each an everyone of the Rufflets Team we had a great time.

Lovely atmosphere. Staff were so attentive and courteous. Room was very clean and the food was great. Would certainly go back.

All the staff were friendly and very helpful

We stayed in the shephereds hut in the hotel grounds and they are beautiful but very cold in the winter months.

Good sized room

Clean, cosy, comfortable room and the friendly, attentive staff were stand out - thank you!

Spacious, comfortable and clean room. Excellent breakfast

Excellent we thoroughly enjoyed our trip

It is a charming hotel with a warm and welcoming staff! This was my second stay at Rufflets and it felt like my home away from home. It has a fantastic restaurant, lovely rooms, beautiful grounds, and a wonderful staff that is always happy to help. All of this at a very reasonable price.

Everything about this hotel screams home vibes, very cosy and welcoming
